problem writing disc

[carver0311]

everytime i try to write the disc it says it needs to be formtted. so when i click to format it says failed to erase disc reason power calibration area error. just wondering how i fix it. also i was going to try a different disc it won't even read the disc now it says device not ready medium not present. what does this mean. thanks for any help.

Sounds as your burner doesn't like that brand of media.

 

Can you post the Disc Information Info you see in the right window panel in the Write mode?

Post the log from that burn attempt (you can find the previous logs in ImgBurn's Help menu).

Update to the latest version of the program.

Looks as ImgBurn can't get full access to that drive. Some other program that is using the drive?

There is a later firmware version. I think your burner doesn't really like the INFODISC-A10-01 discs.

 

http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/SSM-8515S/files.html

 

Power Calibration Area Error

That area is where the burner calibrates the laser to test how to write the disc.

[carver0311]

it wont download that firmware it says no matched drive detected.

[Cynthia]

Might be an OEM drive that you have.

[carver0311]

ok so i finally got it burn and verify completely. when i put it in the xbox it showed there was a disk in there i hit play but only the xbox symbol came up. i couldn't play the game. Did i do something wrong. and do i have to have a modded xbox to play these burnt games. if i do does anyone now a good place to get one.

If it isn't related to ImgBurn we can't help you. Look around with Google and you'll quickly find anything you want to know.
